My Kingdom for a Bunker-Buster: How Might the Iran-Israel War End?

Jason on Talk TV about the Mossad and on Sky News about Trump's Military Parade

Hello Hello Mega Orderers,

I’ve been in my bunker hunkering down underneath the Hills of Hampstead to avoid both Trumpian rhetoric about Military Parades and the Iranian missile attacks. Recorded in this bunker here is the clip from me on TalkTV last evening discussing Mossad, G7, and the need for Israel to destroy all of the Iranian nuclear programme's ability to enrich uranium.

If you want a detailed understanding of the hardware and tactics being used in the ongoing conflict I recommend you my trusted colleague and friend Wolfgang Pusztai’s substack. He was the Austrian Defence Attache in Tripoli and is unbelievably knowledgeable about drones, missiles, and air defence systems:

And now to Today’s EMERGENCY CAST:

Over the weekend, waves of missiles were launched back and forth by Iran and Israel – killing civilians, damaging oil refineries, and causing tremendous humanitarian disaster. Iran willy nilly lobbed bombs at population centres while the Israelis targeted key bits of infrastructure. In either case, the international community stood by – seemingly unable to stop the Disorder. So what can be done?

In this episode, Jason Pack and Jane Kinninmont recap the weekend’s events – exploring what role the key international actors like, Trump, the G7, or India can play in providing an off ramp. Jane and Jason discuss the contradictions in Trump’s stance, the role of the G7 and India as potential mediators, and the risks associated with a full regime change in Iran. Plus: could Israel actually lose this war or its population tire of being confined to bomb shelters at night?

Then as they Order the Disorder, Jane and Jason provide their predictions on how it all might end. They disagree agreeably on whether Israel’s war aims of destroying the enrichment facility at Fardow now need to be achieved first or if it is possible to go back to the negotiating table directly.
